 I have an old Prochem truckmount . The chemical pump attatched to the head of the water pump died I believe. regardless im ordering parts to get me up and running. HOWEVER! tommorrow I'll be cleaning without solution. Was wondering if there were any GUROO's out there that might know a quick fix to get some solution to the wand. Maybe some sort of draw system. home made! I dont care. GOT DUCK TAPE AND A CLOSET FULL OF COAT HANGERS.  Thought about using my hydroforce prespray unit and taking it through the flow meter.    ANY SUGGESTIONS APPRECIATED.

If you have a fresh water tank, just mix the chemical in with your water at the recommended dilution

Why not just use your hydro force and prespray your cleaner.  I personally would not run cleaner threw my pump or any other chemicals for that matter.  Some put rinse water in their fresh water tank but again I do not agree with that.  If you have a good pre spray apply it with the hydro force and there is nothing wrong with a good fresh water rinse.  What model is your Pro Chem? I had a 100 A years ago but jumped to the 800A when it came out Still using Pro Chem today.

I'd just use plain ol water for a couple days or so till the parts come in,maybe just use a fairly neutral prespray

 

I'm a proud owner of a shiny new Legend XL

 

just had to throw that in
